Heroes for Gender Transformative Action (Heroes4GTA)

Heroes4GTA is a transformative program led by AMREF Health Africa in Uganda, alongside partners like Cordaid and MIFUMI, to address SRHR challenges and SGBV in high-burden districts. Through a youth-centered, data-driven approach, it empowers young people and women to make informed decisions, access health services, and advocate for their rights.
